Show Notes
In this episode we tackle three huge issues: climate change, net neutrality, and healthcare. We open the episode by discussing the ramifications of President Trump’s decision to unilaterally withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord. We’ll also discuss how thousands of phony anti-net neutrality comments are being submitted to the FCC using celebrity monikers, ordinary citizens’ identities, and even dead people’s identities. And when it comes to healthcare in America, the GOP-backed American Healthcare Act may be looming over our heads, but we had a HUGE victory in California with respect to single-payer. Additionally, we’ll talk about progressives such as Nina Turner, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, and also corporate Democrats like Cory Booker and Hillary Clinton. These topics and more will be discussed in this week’s episode. Enjoy!
